So eveeyone is aware there's basically a toilet bowl scenario that can suck you under and into a tube under the road? And nobody has fixed it? Like tank top guy suggests. Drop a few big rocks down there to disrupt the cyclone vortex?
Michael Mallouf suggested that.
It would work. He’s right. Disrupt the flow. Very simple concept. Show the hole at low tide and you’ll see this is like getting hit by lightning. It’s been there for 100 years.
Well what kind of asshole doesn't wear a life jacket and clearly seeing a 3 foot wide whirlpool and then steps in it. ! You can't fix stupid even with rocks 😅
@@thereissomecoolstuff If it's been there for one hundred years, then it's claimed a lot of lives and it would have claimed even more if that water was more appealing to swim in than it is. And "lightning" isn't the correct analogy, because lightning isn't controllable and isn't created by man.
@@profd65 That’s the first person who has ever died on that side. People have messed around on the lagoon side. It’s either bad luck or something else I won’t say out of respect for the dead. It’s astounding this happened.
Woah I went to school with Michael Mallouf. Sorry for your loss.
Costs more to maintain the sign than the rocks.
"am i gonna be on the news?" Yes you are 😆
Just tossing salt in the wound by Insinuating that a lifevest would’ve saved a 68yo from a man from a fatal surprise-whirlpool-culvert-swamp-lagoon situation.
So sad
It’s a whirlpool! Should they mention water is wet on those proposed eyesore warning signs for the absent minded?
biden voter no loss.
@@tek_soupyou know, that’s very uncool. Nobody, deserves that
All the rocks are gone because homeless people threw them into I-5 freeway traffic
All the rocks are being used for homeless camps 🎉😂🎉😂 sorry you'll just have to be careful
Herding the culls
I wouldn't even stick my toe in that water
I used to scuba dive at Titlow Beach all the time. It is beautiful underwater there! You should look at some videos of it.
cause of death : whirpool. smh
the voice over for this segment was filmed in an outhouse
You need to post signs that say if you can't swim stay out of water duhhh
has zero to do with being able to swim but don't let facts stand in the way of your theories.
The guy basically got sucked down a drain, pinhead. He didn't die because he couldn't swim.
@@profd65 I bet the best swimmer in the world wouldn't of got sucked down the drain if it happened to him. Thus, swimming helps.
You can’t stop the whirl pools stop being foolish
You can post a sign, derp.
LOL... Putting rocks down it...
He’s right. It would however completely ruin a rare and beautiful natural wonder
@@danielmartin7838 Natural wonder? What are you talking about. It is a culvert that goes under man made train tracks to a pond? Nothing natural about it.
Tacoma is cursed
Holy F’n Sheeit!!!!!
